There are many websites on the internet  which you can use to study English in class or at home.  A good one is called “a4esl”.   Click on this link, read the sentence and choose the best answer.  Write a, b, or c in your notebook first, then check your answer.

Try this one with some vocabulary opposites.  Click on ”Start”, look at the  word in the window and then click on the best answer for the opposite word:

This one is a little more difficult but not too bad.  Here you will need to use one of the words at the top (go, goes, going, went or gone).  Decide which is correct and write it in your notebookAfter you write the correct word in your notebook, then you can click to check your answer.

Here is another.  Do the same thing.  Write the correct word or words (past or past continuous) in your notebook.  After that, check to see if your answer was correct.

When you finish that, if you have an email address, send me an email.  I will put my new email address on the board.

After that, please write your first and last name on the right-hand white board.  Put “yes“  beside your name if you sent me an email.  Put “no” if you didn’t.
